India Westbrooks .
" This or this? " I questioned, looking at Chris. I held up two pictures, one on my iPad and one on my phone. I continued doing my squats as he stared intently at them.
" The first one because he accessorized it. " He looked away from me and finished his push ups.
" I agree. " I told him, setting my devices down.
For the last 30 minutes, we had been playing ' who wore it best ' . It helped me get to see where his head was at, fashion wise. I even got to know him a little better. He told me about him growing up and how the media is. Also, how he was trying to change and mature himself.
I on the other hand, told him about my family and my passion for styling. I even twisted the truth a little bit, telling him I'd graduated high school and was going to college. I was surprised that he even believed me when I said I was 23.
I felt slightly bad for lying to him but, you gotta do what you gotta do right?
I hopped, onto the treadmill.
"So, does Kaleidoscope know your here? I don't want any problems. " I told him, jokingly.
He chuckled, hopping onto the treadmill next to mines. " You got jokes huh? "
I grinned. " But really, how are yall? After four years of dealing with you, I give her props. "
" Me too. " He chuckled to himself but then his face dropped. " We're okay. She's cool. "
" That doesn't sound good to me. " I raised my eyebrow, taking a sip of my water.
" I like you India so, imma be honest. Kae was really a rebound from the whole Rihanna situation. Just so I could say I had a girl I guess. I like her and all that but I don't love the girl. I guess I'm just sticking with her for publicity reasons. I don't wanna be the bad guy. "
I didn't know what to say. I was surprised at how he just laid it out there. They definitely had me fooled though. The media made them seem like the perfect couple.
" Wow. " I shook my head, trying to think of something to say. " So, what is up with you and Rihanna? "
I looked over at him and I could tell I hit a nerve. His face dropped and he looked upset. I hopped I wasn't over stepping my boundaries.
" My bad, I shouldn't have asked. It's just the media is always flipping - "
" It's cool. Me and Rih don't talk anymore. What can I say, I fucked up what we had. I don't think I'll ever love somebody like I loved her. I'm always the bad guy in a relationship. I can never seem to get shit right. But, I'm trying... "
He rubbed his hand across his face. I could tell he wanted to change the subject.
" Well, I've always thought you were a beautiful person on the inside and out. I think you'll find someone that you love even more than you did Rih. But, your gonna make mistakes, shit happens. And, if people can't get over that, fuck em'. "
He chuckled, looking at me through the mirror. " Look at you, Ms. Westbrooks. Need to gone ahead and drop this styling stuff to be a therapist. "
" Shut up, I'm good at what I do. " I chuckled and stopped the treadmill, throwing my towel at him.

I nodded my head to the beat of Chris's stereo. I watched as he sung along to his song 'Remember Me ' . I admired his beauty, then stopped, not wanting him to catch me staring.
I let my small arm hang out of his Lamborghini window as my braids whipped around my head wildly.
I directed Chris the way to my home and he made a quick left turn.
I wondered what my parents would think about this situation. Me, riding around with the famous Chris Brown.
Yup, they wouldn't approve.
I heard Chris chuckle and looked up at him.
" What's funny? "
" Those damn braids slapping you in the face. " He used his smooth hand to lay my braids down.
I giggled, swatting him away. " Nobody told you to do that. " I flipped my hair over my shoulder.
He eyed me. " Inches. "
I couldn't help but laugh. He was always cracking jokes. I pointed towards my big house and he pulled into the driveway.
" Damn India, what your little self doing with this? Need to let me take it off your hands. " He said as he turned his lambo off.
I chuckled. " Actually, It's my parents, I have my own condo, I just come here often. " I was beginning to become a good liar, and I didn't like this.
I reached for his door handle but he gently grabbed my wrist. Raising an eyebrow I turned towards him.
" Uh.. nevermind. "
" What Chris? Just say it. " I hated when people held their tongue.
" I just wanted to tell you that I uh, had fun getting to know you and kickin' it witcha tonight. You're cool India."
I smiled. " Why didn't you just say that? "
" didn't wanna seem soft. "
I chuckled. " Well, I had fun too Christopher. You're cool as well. I think you'll be a pleasure to work with. "
We looked at each other for a quick second before laughing. I shook my head and slid the car door up. I grabbed my purse and hopped out.
" Get home to Kae. " I told him sternly.
" okay, okay. "
I waved and truded up to my doorstep. Chris waited until I was safely inside before pulling off.
I smiled to myself, hopping up the steps to my room.
